Cabitza, Federico and Loregian, Marco (2008): Much undo about nothing?: investigating why email retraction is less popular than apologizing. In: Proceedings of the Fifth Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2008. pp. 431-434. Available online

“This paper presents the results of a user study we performed to investigate users' appreciation of undo for email, also called retract, and their perception of the involved interactions and functionalities. A Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) has been conducted on a large set of email users and the results indicate that there is little knowledge of the possibility of retracting email messages even if current implementations meet user requirements. The results get significance from the fact that a large part of respondents declared to read their own messages also after having sent them, looking for possible mistakes.”

Cabitza, Federico, Sarini, Marcello and Simone, Carla (2007): Providing awareness through situated process maps: the hospital care case. In: GROUP07: International Conference on Supporting Group Work 2007. pp. 41-50. Available online

“Clinical Pathways (CPs) are artifacts that clinicians are increasingly introducing in their practices in order to deal with health problems in the most effective, efficient and agreed way. As a result of an observational study at a Neonatology Intensive Care Unit, we found that most CPs are still paper-based. Although perceived useful even on paper, the physicians advocated a system integrating CPs with the clinical record. Based on their requirements, we present a proposal on how to conceive a computational system that can promote awareness in order to achieve better coordination and committed inclusion of pathways in daily clinical practice.”

Cabitza, Federico and Simone, Carla (2007): "...and do it the usual way": fostering awareness of work conventions in document-mediated collaboration. In: Proceedings of the Tenth European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2007. pp. 119-138. Available online

“In this paper, we concentrate on how conventions among practitioners are put at work for the sake of cooperation in those work settings where coordination is mediated at a large extent by complex webs of documental artifacts. Our case study focuses on coordinative conventions exhibited in the hospital domain and mediated by compound patient records. We conceive of the provision of document-mediated awareness information as a "learning device" by which these conventions can be made explicit in all those situations where practitioners need support in coping with and solving cooperative problems in the articulation of their activities. To enable such a context-dependent and user-centered provision of awareness, we also present and outline the WOAD framework that provides users and designers with a conceptual model and language aimed at facilitating the construction of a convention- and collaboration-aware layer on top of traditional architectures of electronic documental systems. To this aim, we take the case of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) as paradigmatic.”

Cabitza, Federico, Sarini, Marcello, Simone, Carla and Telaro, Michele (2005): When once is not enough: the role of redundancy in a hospital ward setting. In: GROUP05: International Conference on Supporting Group Work November 6-9, 2005, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA. pp. 158-167. Available online

“The paper discusses the role of redundancy in hospital ward work on the basis of a field study that focuses on the use of paper artifacts supporting healthcare and its coordination. On the basis of literature and direct observations, we identified different kinds of redundancy, i.e. redundancy of effort, functions and data. Hence, we analyzed how these different forms of redundancy may affect each other and the coordination inside hospital wards. Redundancy plays a positive or negative role depending on various circumstances. This twofold nature defines different requirements for a technology to support healthcare and ward work by preserving practices linked to paper-based artifacts and by unobtrusively augmenting them with computational capabilities.”
